Tampa, I really hope yall are GTFO’ing…

[Nick Howell @datacenterdude]

@Charalanahzard Great job on BEYOND! I wish we could have seen more about how Interstellar travel changed you!

[Nick Howell @datacenterdude]

Meh. I mean, she sounds great, but it sounds like a cover band. There were plenty of singers out there that would maintain the authentic vibe of the band. I'm sorry, but this ain't it. Best of luck to them.

[LINKIN PARK @linkinpark]

Numb.

@Chris_Mellor Great writeup, thanks Chris! One note for you: GK "joined" NetApp in 2011 as VP of Engineering, but CEO wasn't until June 2015.

@RealEmirHan The opening traversal of the ship in ALIEN, setting the mood and haunting tone of what's to come.

@TeamYouTube It's the POST-processing, nothing to do with bandwidth, upload traffic. The stream ended 24 hours ago and has just been sitting on SD. It's streamed the same way every week. As you know the first 24 hrs are crucial for discovery, and this kills our ability to adapt the VOD.

[Nick Howell @datacenterdude]

@YouTubeCreators Why does it take multiple DAYS for a livestream VOD to post-process? We can't edit it until it finishes. This was streamed 24 hours ago? And still processing? Is there anything we can do different to accelerate the process?

@MichaelCade1 Was in Los Angeles when that took over the world in 2017. It was INSANE. People running across streets through major traffic and such, staring at screens not even looking. It was like the entire city went mad.

Random thought of the Day:

Why TF has no one thought to put a Waffle House on the Las Vegas Strip?

You would PRINT MONEY 365 days a year.

@Kardall https://t.co/V23SLBjiRq and use @uShip to find someone to bring them to you.

I’m out.

[Nick Howell @datacenterdude]

Created a new O365 account yesterday, added the first user and then went to reset my password using 1Password. Something got screwy and locked me out.

As the only global admin on a brand new account. With no alt email set up yet.

Almost two hours on hold.

2 hours and 42 mins. Now I'm just doing it out of pure stubbornness. I'll give it til 3 hours and then I've got other stuff to do.

Fun fact: I've been hella-productive during this time. Maybe I should listen to jangly guitar music more often.
